Fan ejected from World Series game for throwing ball at player

The Texas Rangers needed as much help as they could get during Game 3 of the World Series, but this isn’t quite what they had in mind.

A fan was ejected from the game in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday night after he threw a ball at St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday as Holliday caught a fly ball.

In the bottom of the seventh, Nelson Cruz of the Texas Rangers sent a fly ball to left-center field. Holliday drifted over to make the catch when the Rangers fan stood up and threw a ball that landed far to Holliday’s left.

The culprit was escorted out by security a few minutes later. On the way out, he began texting and gave a “hook ’em Horns” sign. Apparently, the guy is a Texas fan to the core.

Unfortunately for him, his efforts didn’t help the home team much. The run that scored on the play cut the Cardinals lead to 14-7 and St. Louis went on to win 16-7.

The run that scored on Cruz’s sacrifice fly made the score 14-7 in favor of the Cardinals.

Below, the culprit and his friend were filmed by fans in the the bleachers as they were escorted from the ballpark.
